Hatching and Pick-Up Dates 2011
Please note that we will be taking fewer bookings in 2011.
We are now taking orders for 2011: priority will be given to long-time good clients.
Please note Prices <HERE>
A link to the order page is available here..
The number of orders I can take in one week is determined by my birds and my incubator. The birds can't lay more than one egg each per day, and I can only put so many eggs in my incubator at one time. Only some of the eggs make it to 'term' so I always have to put more eggs in than I actually need. I can usually book 10-12 orders per week, but if we have nasty weather during the week I collect those eggs (which is 5 weeks before they are due to hatch) then it could be less.
Please also take note: Anyone picking up eggs unprepared will be REFUSED EGGS and will be charged the CANCELLATION FEE. (We have had too many people picking up eggs who are not prepared, didn't read the instructions, etc. This is NOT a profitable business for us - it is a volunteer service.)
Pick-up TIMES (on pick-up days) are 12 (noon) till 5PM
NO EXCEPTIONS
ALL pick-ups require an appointment.
Ducklings can be dropped off during pick-up times, and on Fridays between 6pm - 8pm.
NO EXCEPTIONS
ALL drop-offs require an appointment.
Please don't ask me to make an exception for you. If the times for pick-up and drop off do not work into your schedule you will have to get your eggs elsewhere.
